The New York Police Department has made its second arrest in connection with the disturbing discovery of the remains of a local drug dealer. Authorities report that the victim’s body was dismembered and stored in a refrigerator.
Chief Detective Joseph Kenny of the NYPD stated that the department received an anonymous tip in January regarding the possible presence of a deceased individual stored in a couple’s fridge. Upon investigating the residence on Nostrand Avenue, officers encountered a woman named Heather Stines, who granted them permission to search the premises.
Upon entering the apartment, officers immediately noticed a refrigerator that was conspicuously taped up. As they approached the refrigerator to investigate, Heather Stines became aggressive, leading to her arrest and removal from the scene.
Upon opening the refrigerator, officers made a chilling discovery: black plastic bags containing the dismembered remains of a Black man.
During questioning, Stines confessed to detectives that the body belonged to a local drug dealer named Kawsheen Gelzer. She claimed that Gelzer had a disagreement with her husband, Nicholas McGee, in September, allegedly over an unpaid rent issue rather than drugs.
Subsequently, police launched a search for Nicholas McGee and located him in Chesapeake, Va., where he was already in custody for identity fraud, according to reports from The New York Post. Prior to this incident, McGee had a history of criminal activity, including being listed on New York’s sex offender registry for molesting a 12-year-old boy.
During interrogation, McGee admitted to attacking Gelzer with a kitchen knife while he slept, stabbing him in the back, and then using a hammer to subdue him. He stated that his girlfriend did not participate in the killing but assisted in dismembering the body and storing it in bags inside the refrigerator.
As McGee was escorted to the police vehicle, he defiantly stuck his tongue out at the cameras. Nicholas McGee now faces charges including murder, robbery, concealment of a human corpse, and tampering with physical evidence. Meanwhile, his girlfriend is charged with concealment of a human corpse.
